On November 28 2024, during the China Care and Rehabilitation Expo in Beijing an event entitled “International Dialogue: Improving Global Access to Assistive Technology” was co-hosted by the China Assistive Devices and Technology Center for Persons with Disabilities (CADTC) with support from the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI). This event marked a significant step forward towards enhancing market transparency and strengthening collaboration in the global assistive technology (AT) ecosystem.

“We hope that we all can learn more about each other’s needs and aspirations and build new and exciting partnerships that will enrich all our journeys. We hope this can mark the start of a long and fruitful collaboration for all present,” said Pascal Bijleveld, ATscale CEO.

Furthermore, the event emphasized the urgent need for greater market transparency, continuous dialogue, and collaborative opportunities between China and LMICs. According to recent data, in low-income countries only 10% of people have the AT they need, in stark contrast to the 90% of people in high-income countries. “This dialogue is a crucial step towards bridging this gap and ensuring that assistive technology is accessible to all, ultimately contributing to a more inclusive and equitable global society” said Pascal.
